    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and Red, 11 Nov 2009

    This review is from: Toshiba Satellite U500-176 13.3-inch Laptop (2.13GHz Core2 Duo P7450, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, DVDSuperMulti Drive, WebCam, BT, Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit) (Electronics)
    I bought this laptop to replace a MacBook Pro I am not getting on with. Now before you all scream Macs are better than PCs, believe me, they are not. I liked the Mac but there are too many specific things that a Mac is not good at - particularly in a small business environment. Anyway, that aside, the Toshiba is the same size as the MacBook but much thicker (it costs less too so you get what you pay for I suppose). It's nice and red (a good thing) with lots of lights on the front and it fair zips along with Windows 7. I like the multi-touch pad which allows you to zoom in and out and scroll using intuitive finger gestures. It also has an hdmi port - which I have yet to use.

    On the down side, as well as it being thicker than I expected, the screen's not that good (the brightness is uneven across the screen) and the keyboard feels a bit flimsy and because it is gloss black it marks easily. And the battery only lasts me about an hour and a half on constant use.

    So overall, an OK laptop for the price but not revolutionary.

    An absolutely brilliant looking product. Works perfectly as well. The only drawback is that it does not have the most long lasting battery in its category.

    Its tiny AND Powerful!
    For Games, storing media, and for people who edit and stuff!

    Update: After many months this baby is still working fine! God knows how many hours I wasted playing games on this! It does not overheat. Games that I played with ease: Bioshock 2 (MAX. graphics), World of warcraft, Resident evil 5, Dragon age, The sims 3. Some games that I had trouble with (slow games): Magicka, Heroes of might and magic, Just cause 2.

    This computer has no problem sketching graphs or multi-tasking.
